DrakeRemorea Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 1 hour ago, DeMonkey said: That's not the words of someone sharing an opinion, but declaring a fact. But what was the context for that versus my opinion of what gauss is in the game over someone's name... Ah, right. Something completely different, I said it's how it's pronounced, because guess what, when someone uses a word that is otherwise a person's name, they can say it however they want. Especially when that word is attached to something of its own intellectual value and properties; therein making the word attached to that intellectual value and property. So whether it happens to be another word, another persons name, even share (coincidentally or not) factors, such as the high velocity aspects you suggested. 1 hour ago, DeMonkey said: You're better than that Is that so? Because this all started on the idea that game developers are mispronouncing their own intellectual property's name. 34 minutes ago, Bioness said: You should save your energy.

I don't think you understand the concept of naming something after someone. It's very literally about taking someone's or something's name and attaching it to something else. It's a fairly basic concept that can be seen across most Warframes, so yes, you're just trolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the future, the Grineer speak babble nonsense, language changes deal with it. Anyway, it's a presumption he's named after Carl Friedrich Gauss, I don't recall it being stated anywhere by DE...

Nope not trolling. You don't understand that if you take something in and give it a name, you can pronounce it however. When you use names you can see three names spelt differently, and sound the same. Or three names that sound differently, but spelt the same. When you make up something, of your own intellectual value and intellectual property, that is virtual and not real but still has value and belonging and then name that thing, that name is attached to it directly before anything else. If they want to use a name spelt the same pronounced differently, it's absolutely fine, whether or not it's someone else's name or not (which we don't even know sorry for not being assuming and rather logical) it doesn't change that this name, is attatched DE's intellectual property therein, the pronounce it however the f*** they want lol.

If you attach a name of person to something then you should at least spell it properly. It has absolutely nothing to do with IP. Think about it as common courtesy to not intentionally mispronounce a persons name. Your argument comes down to a very corporate attitude of: There is no legal reason and no one pays me, so F you.

Does that mean we can't actually say he's named after the sword? No, that would be completely illogical because there's clear references and a precedent among other frames. Stop trolling.

I honestly thought better of you I'm really not. I could say you're trolling, I mean you are the one assuming everything. Although they may be coincidental assumptions commonly confused for facts, it is still comparably illogical. I'm not spewing facts 100% of the time or anything, but I'm not assuming things based on intellectual virtual properties and peoples names, inventions, and real life events. All though it may be easy to confuse the two when you spend the same amount of time in both video games and life, it's not as easy as they're the same.

Or I could be reasonable, use my brain, and instead of going "It's just a coincidence"* with no actual reasoning behind it outside of being contrarian, seeing as pretty much every name in warframe IS IN FACT a reference**, I could deduct that Gauss is also IN FACT a reference to one of the greatest mathematicians in the history***. *which, fun fact, even if you claim that, you still need arguments to back it up, I saw nothing yet, outside of "I'm right you're wrong", which as I said above: 12 minutes ago, HugintheCrow said: If you're not trolling, it's actually worse, cause it means you have actual brain damage.

Colyeses Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Isn't the Warframe wiki official? Because the wiki confirms that he's named after Gauss. Which, honestly, should be obvious to literally anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frennick Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Honestly when I heard the pronouncation by Tactical Potato in his tube, I was like "What?". Simply because Gauss has been pronounced how the trailer does it in all the games I've played. It's likely just one of the words that's been pronounced weirdly over time, similar to how people say the classic "potato/pohtatoe" thing. I wasn't even aware it was based around a math guy, but the reality is that little is usually related to these kind of folks nowadays. Except for the odd Einstein.

Actually, you'll find a lot of such links. After all, Volt was named after Alessandro Volta, and Vauban was named after Sébastien Le Pestre de Vauban, so Gauss being named after Gauss is not a surprise at all. Most games draw naming inspirations from real life. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
